To think that chester draws isn't as bad as

[ChangeThePassword]

'chester freezer'

I'm not defending chester draws, but at least I can understand how it happened.

I've just seen someone talk about their 'chester freezer' on Facebook. There's no excuse.

I’ve seen a one off Collie Flower on FB also someone always types Macup.

Someone at work always states ‘he’s passing the book’

@Qcumber

A business on Facebook was talking about regulations set out by the 'priminister'

Omg I was going to come on and write the exact same thing!! Wondering if it's the same place 😂😂

Oh yes and another, how could I forget!

Billy Rubins instead of Bilirubin

We had a decorator once (tbf he wasn’t british.....) who proudly told me he had once met Arson Vinegar!!!

You know, the former Arsenal Manager 😂

I’d never encountered Chester draws until I saw it on here. I was a bit stunned and the op kept writing it, and clearly didn’t know. No one corrected her either.

I wrote a post out to do it a couple of times but didn’t post it, because it felt a bit bitchy. Still can’t decide if it was right not to tell her and so not embarrass her, or if someone should have told her so she stopped going through life thinking that a chest of drawers was actually Chester draws.🙃

Some great ones from people attempting to sell dogs. Shitzoo and so on! Dakshound

Thanks @Ibake

South East so similar to London accent. Still "bouncy" definitely has an "ounce" sound, nothing like an "an" sound.

As in the old joke: “How much does a Cockney pay for shampoo? Pahn-ten!”

Similarly, I hate it when people write ‘on route’ rather than ‘en route’

I once accidentally mistyped in a text to my hosts that I was ‘en croute’ and only had 20 minutes to completely encase myself in pastry to save myself from looking like an idiot

My colleague asked me how to spell ADHD

That reminded me of this radio competition with the ACDC fan calling in to win a great prize:

Yes to the Dave Gorman findings. “On except a bowl” just blows my mind!

we was instead of we were is dialect.
I used to work with someone who said "Was you?"
and in some areas a plural you is said as yous.

And, of course, the Rockviler!

Sounds to me like somebody learning the painful way that 'devouring a novel' isn't intended to be taken literally

@SirGawain

We was going instead of, we were going.

That's different though isn't it? That's regional dialect not a misunderstanding about how you spell something .

Many years ago, I temped for the Probation Service typing up reports. There was one probation officer's reports that I always looked forward to reading: his clients had a terrible habit of going into 'custardy'.

Thank you for the Voila explanation. I was trying to work out the Wallah pronunciation also.

I want to go into custardy!

Not sure if this is the same instance, but I once saw someone on FB had named their baby Skighlah. Apparently it's pronounced Skyla.
Also Spag Bowl really annoys me. It's not bowlognese......

I understand that if you park your car on the frog within the sound of Bow Bells it will definitely be toad.

Mute point

My absolute favourite is “Noah fence” which I saw on twitter. I now can’t help but think of it when I say no offence

I want to go into custardy!

Now THAT just makes me think of Rich & Eddie's 'custardy underpants' competition

The crutch of the matter is.........

@SirGawain

Sorry should be. Hoisted on my own petard.

It's "by" not "on"

And sometimes 'carnt'

The work canteen put “Chicken cord on blue” on the menu once (Chicken Cordon Bleu)
